Ferret Fluid Flywheel rebuild

[Phil Waterman]

Hi Robin

Thanks for posting the photo of the new style cage nuts.

A comment that I would offer to anyone going to use these as replacement for the original ones used on CMPs. That being that the lip on the under side needs to be considered when using them as in most cases it will not fit down into the original hole, if you don't the nut will not sit down tight when tightened.

Depending on location I used three different approaches:
1. Grind the lip off
2. Drill out the hole on that side
3. Use a counter sink bit to provide space for the lip

From time to time the old style caged nuts, made from a folded single piece of steel, do show up so people should keep thier eyes out for them and grab them when the can.

Cheers Phil
